Ask the townspeople about the history of the village, how they are treated by their ruler, how happy or unhappy they are about their rule, etc. Tell them that you know magic and can help them with things they need

EXTREMELY NO NO NO NO NO NO we're not admitted we can do magic!

Well, that stinks. Enchant the remainder of our metal (except the forge) into a set of small decorative pieces---little figurines and doorknobs and decorative stakes to top fences with and whatnot. That way we can spread them around innocuously about our little dwelling or wherever we may need to. Scatter the figurines around the cottage enchanted if possible to explode into flames on mental or vocal command. Keep the rings on us in case we need them.

Head into town and proceed to the castle. Enchant a ring to make people around us believe we are very trustworthy, and enchant another ring to make our plain robes appear to be normal apparel for a poor scribe. We'll then proceed direct to the castle and introduce ourselves as a trained scribe, who recently completed her apprenticeship and who wishes for a position suitable to her talents. Court scribe (keeps track of courtly business), note-taker, treasury administrator, whatever.


I guess we ought to take the GM's hint about not going off and hermiting our way to ultimate victory.
+1 to this, also, I’m getting deja vu reading this, was this posted earlier? Still voting for it, just curious if I saw this before

I'd like to note that it's also probably a good idea to make a ring of sustenance, so we don't have to worry about food and drink.

Yep, as ever, I bestow upon Glass the expected +1
I'm gonna say we go with whatever Glass's idea is.

The part about heading into town is literally a lightly modified copy-paste from the previous action, the option I posted that we didn't choose :P

Glass: I'll not bother with that since we're going to un-hermit somewhat.

It just means that we don't have to eat, not that we don't eat. Keeping up appearances can't be that difficult. Hell, didn't we give the dumb mage guy a ring of trustworthyness or something? We can just make one of those and people probably won't notice.

Just as a spoiler my plan is to begin amassing gold and then start gifting or selling enchanted rings. Not that we're going to tell anyone that they're enchanted.

These rings will totally NOT be JUST LIKE the Rings of Power, and we are ABSOLUTELY not going to have One Ring that may or may not rule them all.

As soon as the mage put on the first ring.

Threat: There are some magic resistant priests passing through town who are deeply suspicious of any and all magic an are extremely popular in the village.

Yeah sorry, someone blew up a street in my state and took the internet down for multiple days with it.
This really happened. 2020 was wild.

Separate from the above proposal, it also occurs to me that we can enchant people’s doorknobs, coins, and other such metal things that are likely to get handled often with innocuous psychological effects like the trustworthiness one on the ring, just by brushing past them.
